A woman directing John Osborne seemed to strike some as a startling incongruity. Rather like hearing that an unrepentant Nazi was putting on a revival of The Sound of Music. Admirably, Trevis refrained from giving the proceedings an unduly feminist slant, though at the end she did allow herself the unnervingly effective stroke of showing all the play’s women now ganged up in the jury box.The opposite extreme – of which the Tricyle’s Nicolas Kent, with his productions of The Nuremberg Trials and Srebrenica, focusing on the 1996 Hague War Crimes Tribunal, has of late proved himself a master – is to stage a straight edited transcript of an actual trial. The tremendous power of Srebrenica, which eventually transferred to the Olivier, stemmed from the tension in it between the humdrum and the horrific. John Osborne’s Inadmissible Evidence is an outstanding example of this with its wrecked, womanising, self-lacerating misogynistic anti- hero, a solicitor who puts himself into the (solipsistic) dock.When the National revived that play five years ago, much was made of the fact that the production had a female director, Di Trevis.
It is a family-oriented company which I like.”A marriage made in heaven, then. KFC has produced yet another variation on a tried and tested formula (dash of Stiles plus pinch of blonde – past variations have included Dani, Ulrika and Denise) as it edges towards its long-term goal: banishing its one-time nasty and naff image.. “It would be nice to play the golf course, these golf courses, when they are drier, obviously,” the golfer Tom Watson said yesterday, on seeing the waterlogged course at Pebble Beach. But surely, the idea of Ivana popping out for a KFC is about as believable as, well, Gorbachev nipping down to his local Pizza Hut.The pairing may stretch credibility but, according to the PR puff, Ms Trump’s support is “the best celebrity endorsement we could wish for”. And according to Ms Trump who, as well as reinventing herself as a businesswomen, is also a mother: “We always go to KFC. Still “Ivan”, as he calls her, seems pleased with her bulging bun which, interestingly, we don’t see her actually eat.The commercial is slick and quick – advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather has been cautious not to over-egg the joke. “I got a mad urge to buy a tower,” mugs KFC’s campaign frontman Ryan Stiles.
“I can’t resist men who give in to my spending urges,” Ms Trump purrs.The pair are in a New York street – a stone’s throw from her ex-husband’s skyscraper. Stiles, in flat cap and brown mac, obviously isn’t talking real estate. The poet Michael Horovitz remembered him working the Everyman Cinema queues in the Fifties, dressed in some woebegone mac, and clutching his secret blue invoice-book. With his mixture of charm and tireless persistence, he usually persuaded almost the entire queue to buy a copy.Silkin was a provident editor and, when he died, his magazine, entirely unsupported by Arts Council grants (though he had received small sums from Catherine Cookson), was in the black to the tune of pounds 75,000 What other small literary magazine could say the same.. TV: KFC advert
She’s hardly your typical KFC customer. But then would you really want to see a commercial featuring half a dozen pissed lads with the munchies reeling after a Saturday night out on the town? Probably not.
So, Ivana Trump is flogging the new Fillet Tower Burger in the latest advert for KFC.
Ms Trump resembles Patsy from Ab Fab and sounds like Zsa Zsa Gabor as she cradles the pristine cardboard burger box. “When I asked him what he did for a living, he replied, with shy pride, that he was a gravedigger.”Silkin was dedicated to two things – poetry and Stand, the literary magazine that he founded and promoted with a passion for more than 40 years. “Could I do anything for him to get him a little better known? That’s what he asked me,” said Litvinoff. ” ‘But what can we do for a young and entirely unknown Jewish poet?’ my editor replied, somewhat despairingly, when I put it to him.”I told the editor that he was an example of the Angry Young Man Poet, and he thought, after a pause, that he might after all deserve a mention. So I took Silkin down the Strand to some cheap photographer and told him to look angry.
He did his best.”Silkin was passionate in his pacifism, as Litvinoff was to discover when they both attended congresses of Anglo-Jewish writers in Israel.The other striking thing about the young Silkin was that he desperately wanted to be a proletarian – regrettably, he had an uncle in the House of Lords at the time. Silkin, then 22, had approached him in a Jewish art gallery and tried to sell him a copy of a small, privately printed tome of his called The Portrait and Other Poems Litvinoff was clutching that copy as he spoke. And of his brown shoes, too – of such a singular decrepitude that even Charlie Chaplin would have disdained to eat them.”He was such an extraordinary presence, even as a young man,” said Emmanuel Litvinoff, a friend who met Silkin in London in 1952.At that time Litvinoff was deputy editor of the Jewish Observer and Middle East Gazette. For it was here, in this rather moodily candle-lit, catacomb-like room with its plain brick walls, where the ghosts of dead saxophonists always seem to be playing mutedly to each other, that he did his last London reading, in September, just weeks before he died.Silkin’s presence was as striking as his poetry – he was extremely short in stature and stocky of frame, but with a magnificent head, and a shock of white hair that fell across his face like a waterfall when he spoke He was evidently proud of that hair.

Finally, I knew something had happened and I rang the bell and said I’m having the baby The nurse rushed me to the delivery room There was this horrendous pain, then I heard a scream. But years later I said to Helen, when you have a baby, you scream.When I reached the second stage I hung on for ages and I got into a terrible state Still nobody checked me or examined me. I was brought up to be the stiff-upper-lip- type and not to make a fuss or a noise if you were in pain. As far as I was concerned, I was completely alone.I got the impression from the midwives that some women made a lot of fuss in labour and they didn’t like it I thought, I don’t want to be one of these screaming women.
I found out afterwards that they were watching me cold-bloodedly through a glass panel. I didn’t want to make a fuss.At some stage the midwife gave me an injection, which I assume was pethidine She didn’t ask whether or not I wanted it Apart from that they left me for hour upon hour No one checked me; it was up to me to ask for help. My husband could have arranged to stay, too, but they just wouldn’t allow such a thing. In my day you more or less did what you were told in most things. When we got to the hospital I asked the nurse if my mother could stay, but she said no.
In those days you were laid out on slabs to wait so you didn’t waste any of the doctor’s time, he wanted to admit me but the sister said: “What do you want me to do, put two in a bed?” They were very overworked.I went into labour that night, which was fortunate because friends had warned me that the hospital would make me eat castor oil sandwiches.In the morning my husband had to go to work and my mother and I waited for the ambulance. I took it for granted that the hospital would know about these classes and take over from there But I realised too late that there was no connection. I got no support in hospital.I went for a check-up when I was 10 days overdue; our neighbour took me in his rattly old Austin Ruby. I can even remember my sister being born at home when I was three and we lived in a tenement in Dundee, although I can’t remember a terrible noise, so I must have been taken out at some stage.When I was pregnant I went to classes in some relaxation method that was just coming in. She went back to work part time when Helen was three and has since done a variety of administrative jobs.I didn’t have any rosy illusions about childbirth because I can remember my brothers being born when I was a teenager.
And I didn’t make too much fuss.Barbara Davies, 62, gave birth to Helen, her only child, in 1957, when she was 24 and living in Bromsgrove.The experience was bad enough to put her off having any more. That was a good thing, because all the nurses were strangers to me But on the whole the nursing homes were very friendly. During the labour they were always looking in to see you were all right. He examined me and found that the head was out.The family doctor, who used to look in regularly when you were pregnant, always came to the nursing home to deliver the baby. The nurse said to the doctor: “She’s making an awful fuss, she won’t have her bath”. I had been nearly knocked out by a horse and cart earlier in the day and I went into labour very quickly.
You had to sort of grin and bear it alone.The first time I had any pain relief – gas and air – was with my fourth baby. The postman came and said: “Some poor woman’s going through it.” Bill said: “That’s my wife”.I knew the midwife, but not well. But she was such a homely person you just felt it was your mother. I remember her on the bed helping me all she could; she was marvellous, a real comfort.My husband was never allowed to be with me, even when the babies were born at home I wouldn’t have liked him to be there. I didn’t know anything about childbirth.Helen, the second, was born at home, and she was breech. The midwife said: “You’re going to have it hard, the feet’s coming first.” It was agony.

Add to the virtues of narrative and description O’Brian’s phenomenal grasp of the naval, political, social and scientific history of the period of the Napoleonic wars, and his ability to create characters, women as well as men, who get up off the page and act out their own lives like free souls, and it is clear that O’Brian belongs to that high company of authors who are too little examined by literary critics.The chasm between the writers the critics admire, and the writers the public likes, may be infuriating, but it is an old story.

Andrew Gibbs is among the Welsh hopefuls who go into this morning’s match against Australia B under the Ballymore floodlights. With just two minor games to come before the Second Test on 22 June, the Wallaby B team provide the final potent opposition. “Test places are still up for grabs,” the Newbridge flanker said “It is going to be like another international. We have got three matches to really get our game going.”
Gibbs, the No 8 Emyr Lewis, lock Paul Arnold and the stand-off Arwel Thomas are perhaps the ones most likely to be under the selectors’ microscope.The coach, Kevin Bowring, is demanding a tightening up of the Welsh defence around the fringes.
“The Australians are hitting close from first phase, slamming stuff, and we have to physically deal with that or we will be in trouble,” he said.With just one Welsh win from four games, however, the odds are that Australia B will carry just too much firepower.. Tim Henman continued to demonstrate why he is regarded as Britain’s brightest hope when he produced a gallant performance to upset the No 16 seed, Javier Frana, and reach the second round of the Stella Artois grass-court championships yesterday. Frana is unusual in that he is an Argentinian who favours grass over clay. A committed serve and volleyer, he proved an ideal opponent for Henman to test himself against.
There was little to choose between their games, but Frana definitely had the edge in size and strength.
In the end that advantage was cancelled out by Henman’s resilience under pressure, and his ability to lift his game when he most needed to, rather than slump into defeat when the going got tough.Henman began by taking a 3-0 lead, was broken back in the fifth game and held a set point at 6- 5, which he lost when he hit a poor return. Frana took the tie-break and swiftly built a 3-0 lead in the second.Frana though had problems with his serve, and Henman took advantage. The Argentinian twice double-faulted to set up break points, and on both occasions Henman accepted his opportunity. In the final set Henman sneaked ahead 4-3, double-faulted to lose his serve, but kept his head, broke again and served out for the match.”I was anxious to perform well, and to perform well and win is a bonus,” Henman said. “When you’re 3-0 down in the second set you’ve got your back against the wall, but the chances I was having I knew I would take them eventually.” If Henman defeats the Russian Andrei Olhovskiy today, he will face Thomas Muster, the top seed and world No 2, in the third round.The Austrian won his first tournament match on grass when he beat France’s Guillaume Raoux 6-7, 7-5, 7-6 after two and a half hours “I really enjoyed playing. I have no pressure on this surface because nobody has any expectations of me,” Muster said.”It’s the low bounce that gives me a problem Nothing comes by instinct.

Councils will be penalised for above-average tax increases by not being fully reimbursed by the Department of Social Security for the extra cost in council tax benefit increases. The Conservatives also suggest that the Government’s prediction is optimistic.Gillian Shephard, the shadow Environment Secretary, claimed that the settlement showed a shift in financial support away from local authorities in London and the South-east, towards Labour’s “friends in the north”. The Liberal Democrats say that abolition is likely to lead to typical council tax increases of about 8 per cent. In recent years central government had effectively set local council taxes by giving every council a cap that fixed the maximum charge. The Local Government Association, which represents councils, says tax increases will depend on the decisions taken by local authorities, but it expects most to increase council taxes by a maximum of 5 per cent.
Individual councils, though, may choose to set much higher increases, as a result of the elimination of the cap.
The Government has increased its grant support to local authorities by 5.4 per cent and says it expects councils to limit their council tax rises to 4.5 per cent. Business rates, which are set by government and handed back to local authorities, will rise by 8.7 per cent – more than three times the rate of inflation.

And you will be paying interest on the protection insurance.Because unsecured personal loans are not underwritten, lenders rely on a hefty set of exclusions to avoid paying out. Mr Gibbons suggests that you check the small print to make sure the conditions match your circumstances. For example, some schemes do not cover the self-employed or people on short-term contracts.And what if your spending has spiralled and you are tempted to consolidate all your loans into one big one? Mr Gibbons says: “This is rarely a good idea, particularly if the consolidated loan is secured on your home. As our best buy table shows, on a pounds 5,000 loan paid back over three years, you will be paying around pounds 20 a month extra in payment protection. Some loans, for example, charge penalties if you want to pay the loan off early.Once you have chosen your loan, you can almost guarantee that your lender will ask you to take out payment protection insurance on top of the cost of the loan In most cases this is an expensive waste of money.
This is a more accurate guide to the total cost of borrowing than an effective annual rate (EAR), the charge quoted for most overdrafts (which are not required to quote an APR figure). The EARs take into account the charges for borrowing but not any fixed fees that may be added. Rates can therefore look artificially competitive.If you are considering taking out a loan, get a full written quotation that explains in detail all the charges, including fees. To help you compare costs, lenders are required by law to quote an annual percentage rate (APR) figure.

The up-front payment is to compensate him for loss of share options at British Steel, where his package of pay and bonus was almost pounds 290,000.Mr Whybrew’s salary is pounds 275,000 and, as with Mr Hampton and other British Gas directors, he receives neither bonuses nor share options.. At the same time, he will be in charge of the gas supply business at a time when the domestic market is being opened up to competition from rivals, including offshore companies and electricity firms.British Gas also confirmed that John Whybrew would join the board from Shell, in the newly created role of director for strategic planning and corporate affairs.

British Gas concluded a round of sweeping boardroom changes with the appointment as group finance director of Philip Hampton, the 42-year-old finance director of British Steel. Mr Hampton succeeds Roy Gardner, who has taken on a much wider brief and is increasingly regarded as the eventual replacement for the chief executive, Cedric Brown, now seen as the last of the old guard.Mr Gardner, who joined from GEC in late 1994, takes on the formidable responsibility of renegotiating long-term contracts with North Sea producers, which are forcing the company to buy much more gas than it can sell, often at prices above those available in the market today. The payout followed Scantronic’s takeover last November by Menvier Swain.Together with the cost of closing Scantronics’s headquarters, the pay- off has caused a pounds 1m exceptional charge that will wipe out any profits made in the second half to April.Mr Brookes had been on a five-year contract until Scantronic’s board negotiated it down to three years shortly before the pounds 10.5m takeover.He was on a salary of pounds 210,000 plus pension contributions at 15 per cent of salary, at a time when Scantronic had fallen heavily into loss.Menvier said it will also be writing down the value of Scantronic stock on its balance sheet by pounds 4m in the second half.Mr Brookes’ payout was not the only one to hit Menvier Swain.Just before Christmas the firm also paid a sum believed to be pounds 250,000 to settle a lawsuit with the former finance director Ray Dias.Mr Dias left the company after pressure from institutions when Scantronic hit trading problems amid mounting debt in July 1994.. Ian Martin, who left the company to become chairman of Unigate, was paid pounds 557,458.David Nash was paid pounds 790,000, the company confirmed yesterday, when he lost out to John McGrath in the battle for the position of chief executive.At the other end of the pay scale, the company last month paid pounds 106,000 in compenstion to 900 of its Burger King staff who were told to clock off on unpaid breaks whenever the outlets were quiet.Meanwhile, Scantronic, the security alarms firm, revealed yesterday a pounds 780,000 payout to former chief executive Chris Brookes hit profits.
